I had to put a new engine in with less than 100,000
I had to put a new engine in with less than 100,000 miles. The quality isn't there. I also had to pay extra for changing the headlight bulb since the front bumper has to be taken off to change the headlight. Not worth the hassles.

I bought an Equinox 2.
I bought an Equinox 2.4L and it turned out to be great. My wife crashed it, but we traveled far away and it never let us down. It's very comfortable for long trips. Unfortunately, my wife crashed it, but the insurance paid us very well.

Complete engine failure less then 150,000 miles.
Complete engine failure less then 150,000 miles. Consumed so much oil I had to pay for more than average maintenance. I was told there was metal shards getting pushed throughout the oil and motor.

don’t buy an equinox
My dad bought my 2015 Chevy equinox out right from the Chevy dealership in Florence Kentucky i've had my equinox for almost two years, and it started snowing and getting below 1<unk>, and my engine blew. I've put it in the shop. They said it's known to have a piece in your engine freeze up and build up pressure, and blow your engine. This is the worst car I've ever owned.

Good reliable vehicle!
I bought the equinox used and and have owned it for five years. It has been a great vehicle! Gets 25-29 mpg and plenty of room for cargo. Currently has 106K+. We've had no major problems with it. Had a safety recall on wiper blades ball joints. But that was resolved.

Buy a Toyota or Honda instead.
Do not buy this car especially those that have the 2.4 liter engine. The Chevrolet Equinox/GMC Terrain from 2010-17 equipped with the 2.4 engine is well known for excessive oil consumption, timing chain, and rear main seal due to a defective PCV system. Do yourself a favor and buy a Toyota RAV4 or a Honda CR-V instead. The problems we have on this car was not the engine but the windshield wiper transmission and HVAC blower motor failures so far but that didn’t stop us from researching the common problems with these vehicles. They are great when new but after the warranty is up they are junk. These cars are junk and so are the larger siblings (Traverse, Enclave, Acadia, and Outlook). Also the gas mileage is horrible on this car compared to the Honda or Toyota competitors.

Excellent Ride
I love this car. I have the LTZ w/ sunroof and no leaks. It’s crossover design to SUV is just big enough to take the kids but not huge like a regular SUV. I haven’t had any major repairs on the car but normal wear and tear. Oil changes, new tires.. no rust either. I have put over 100,000 miles on it, been in a pretty deep ditch during heavy snowfall and didn’t roll or tip over. They towed it out and we drove away. No damage. Iowa salts their roads all the time! Weather changes on a dime. This vehicle is so reliable, we bought a second one for the kid. Do yourself a favor and get one. You won’t be disappointed.

Looks Great
I find this car to be reliable for all my needs. I like the interior space. The overall appearance of the car exterior makes you think it is expensive.
